Kevin’s Low-Q fatbike EDIT: added frame geometry discussion

This was a cool project. Kevin did a bunch of the hard work figuring out chainline and researching appropriate cranks, and we kicked around ideas a bunch and ended up with something I think will be really fun: a fatbike without a ridiculously wide pedaling stance/Q factor.

Now, the tradeoff here is that a 4″ tire on a ~80mm rim is about the limit for tire clearance, but that’s ok if the alternative is horrible knee pain and no fun on your fatbike. 4″ tires are damn fun, kids, even if the cool guys all have 5″ ones now and look like babies waddling with full diapers on their ICTs.
